The hybrid car-aircraft is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel. Its creator, Prof Stefan Klein, said it could fly about 1,000km, at a height of 2,500m, and had clocked up 40 hours in the air so far. It takes two minutes and 15 seconds to transform from car into aircraft. In the air, the vehicle reached a cruising speed of 170km/h. It can carry two people, with a combined weight limit of 200kg （31 stone）. But unlike drone-taxi prototypes, it cannot take off and land vertically and requires a runway. There are high expectations for the nascent market in flying cars, which have long been heralded in popular culture as a visionary landmark of the future. It is considered a potential solution to the strain on existing transport infrastructures. The company behind AirCar, Klein Vision, says the prototype has taken about two years to develop and cost less than 2m euros in investment. Anton Zajac, an adviser and investor in Klein Vision, said if the company could attract even a small percentage of global airline or taxi sales, it would be hugely successful. 【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1 .prototype [ prou total p] n. 2.Slovakia [slo* vaekio]3.nascent [ nei sant] adj. 4.strain [strei n] n. 5.infrastructure [ I nfrs strA ktf s] n. 【词块学习】请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 .到达（某一数目或总数）.对??.有很高的期望 .具有远见卓识的里程碑,非常成功 拓展练习阅读理解 One day in summer, as Terry passed through the crossroads, a truck ran a red light, crashing into his car violently, throwing him out of his seat belt and sending him flying five meters through the air.
